Ha I remember doing the same thing when I was ~6 years old in South Korea. There would be these trucks that went around spraying mosquito killing fog in the apartment complexes and all the little kids from the neighborhood would run behind them.
Well now I'm 30 and so far things seem to be ok! Fingers crossed
- therein 7y agoYup, this has been my experience growing up outside of the US. Watching this video made me facepalm really hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2NmuQW8cjE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2NmuQW8cjE
- emerongi 7y agoThe description on that video is hilarious.
- o-__-o 7y agoMeanwhile I’m out walking my dog and one of these trucks turns the corner. I immediately turn and run, it’s always futile.. the truck passes me and I’m left standing there holding my shirt over my face. Doesn’t matter; inhaled DEET.
- Jenda_ 7y agoFYI DDT and DEET are completely different chemicals, one is an insecticide, the other is a repellent. Some people in this thread seem to confuse them. I don't think they would spray DEET at scale. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEET
